The Room was excellent it was very clean but lacked a comfy chair. As for quiet it was in an annexe bit which at first looked great but as it was next door to the Bins and barrels was very noisy when barrels were being moved or delivered. We loved the location and the views were spectacular. The evening meal we had on the first night was really good. The service was excellent and the pub itself really comfortable.

The first morning we were greeted by an older woman who did say good morning but was quite sharp with no warmth to her at all. The second morning she was slightly better but if she was the manager and We assumed she was she needed to be a little more friendly. Our second morning my friend was woken at 6 am by a delivery of some sort being very noisy I am a hearing aid wearer and didn't hear a thing.

Fabulous views from the beer garden at the front. Excellent breakfast with quality products and lots of choice. Very good food served in the restaurant.

The room was one of the smallest I have ever stayed in. The only window was small and was eye level to some external steps and a wall so that anyone using the steps could look straight into the room and little light came into the room. I must point out that we stayed in the cheapest room. There is no separate 'bar' area and this place is set up for people dining not just coming for drinks, other than the outdoor seating area. So if all the tables are booked for food there is nowhere to sit inside which is poor if you are staying there. Also there was only 1 cask beer which was a bit disappointing.

Room was spotless, and the bathroom and shower excellent. Breakfast orders were bespoke rather than an open buffet, which made a welcome change, especially as the host was so accommodating and friendly.

I suggest that guests are given the option to book for dinner at the time of booking and prioritised. I was asked whether I wanted dinner when I arrived and was then seated outside of the main restaurant to eat alone as a solo traveller. Not great. Also, an issue with the popularity of the place is that it gets very busy during the day, so when I tried to get back to my room during my stay to get changed I couldn’t actually park there! Again, some priority (spaces) for staying guests?

This is a beautifully located property and the standard of accommodation and helpful, friendly staff makes it a fabulous place to stay. We have stayed here on a couple of occasions now when we have visited Chatsworth House and the Christmas lights and on both occasions we have been looked after impeccably. The chef at this property is fabulous and we have eaten the finest food and taken drinks by the roaring log fire, just beautiful. This is a real gem and you must stay here. Amazing history of the property and stunning views over the valley. We will be returning again as our Christmas tradition.

nothing to complain about at all We loved everything and will return.

Excellent breakfast and good choice of evening meal. Accommodation was in a quiet just outside room with ensuite which we actually liked as rather charming. Very good shower and comfortable beds, plenty of space for storage of clothes etc and good coffee/tea facilities, including delicious biscuits. Good bathroom toiletries. Soft fluffy towels very good room lady.

Nothing we didn't like hence the reason we returned for a second break and will again come back in the future.

The food was really lovely and plentiful! All of the staff we came across were all very friendly and welcoming. The location is spectacular, fantastic views! Really busy most days we were there.

Our room was a 'standard' double, 'Pin', it was quite compact and bijou, not quite as expected! Had no views what-so-ever, only people coming down the steps could see us if the blind was not down!!! Its such a shame really, as most of the rooms appear to have no views of the stunning landscape! The shower did not drain very well and felt as if you were paddling in the sea. We did mention it however, was not sorted out.

Stunning views from the hilltop location. Great selection of evening meals from the menu. Breakfast was outstanding. individual orders taken and freshly cooked. Rooms were cosy and the beds were very comfortable. Ensuite facilities excellent with an ample supply of hot water from the shower. Friendly staff who made us feel very welcome,

Our trip to the Peak District was made extra special by our stay at The Barrell Inn. Beautiful location and excellent welcoming warm room. The bar had only 2 cask ales in use out of 4 handpulls but Marstons Pedigree was kept in good condition and there were ample keg opportunities including Guinness. . Our meal was delicious, I selecting fresh baked cod on a seafood pasta base. The arrival of the local shoot workers celebrating the end of a 3 day shoot was interesting but they were all polite and no untoward noise. This added to the experience of a night's stay on a wet and windy Moor in the highest pub in Derbyshire at 380m above sea level. Wholly recommended and we shall be back.

In our bedroom the mirror light was not working, and the toilet flush needed pumping to activate, but this was a minor blemish on the stay.

The food in the restaurant is superb and the staff are really welcoming and friendly. We loved the owner coming to chat with the guests at breakfast - a lovely touch

Unfortunately a very noisy lorry delivered the pubs food supplies each morning right outside our room around 06:00 which was a bit of a rude awakening 😩
